windows fogging up?

Hi everyone.

Today after parking my truck this morning I noticed my windshield started fogging up. Looks like coming from the defrost vent?

Hoping it's not too serious?

It's A/C condensation forming on the inside of the window. As the truck shuts down, the vent control looses vacuum and sends the air to defrost, like a vacuum leak, except there isn't vacuum to keep it at the mid-vent.

If it was the heater core, you'd be smelling coolant.

Next time you start the truck, while pausing for the glow plow "wait to start" light to go out, listen carefully to the truck, you should here a small clunk from the vents. Key on starts the vacuum pump, once vacuum is applied, you can hear the shift from defrost to vent.
